The story is generally well-received, with users finding it fun and engaging, particularly in the context of the game's missions. However, technical issues such as soft locks and save game problems detract from the overall experience, impacting gameplay and player satisfaction. Despite these challenges, the narrative elements contribute positively to the game's appeal, making it suitable for short play sessions.
“The graphics, sound, and story are all fun and well-done.”
“The game consistently 'soft locks' during missions, the character logic and behavior is inconsistent which severely impacts gameplay. After 36 hours of putting up with this, the final straw is that the game has just overwritten my save game, reset all progress, and I have to start over.”
